Very strongly agree

No, the right to vote includes the right to abstain.

This aligns closely with conservative civil-liberties framing: rights include the freedom not to exercise them; compulsory voting is often criticized as violating freedom of conscience/choice.

Strongly agree

No

Conservatives are more likely to oppose mandatory voting on freedom-of-choice grounds; Canadian conservative rhetoric often frames voting as a right, not an obligation enforceable by penalties.

Strongly agree

No, politicians must earn my vote, not rely on state coercion.

This matches Conservative themes of personal responsibility and skepticism of state compulsion—politicians should persuade voters rather than rely on legal mandates.

Agree

No, forcing uninterested people to vote results in random, uninformed decisions.

A common conservative argument against compulsory voting is that it can produce low-information or protest/random ballots; this fits with skepticism about mandated participation.

Disagree

Yes, it forces politicians to appeal to the moderate middle rather than just their radicalized base.

Some may like the idea of broader participation, but the party’s small-government/anti-coercion instincts make it unlikely to endorse forcing turnout as a strategy to moderate politics.

Disagree

Yes, legitimate democracy requires maximum participation.

While Conservatives support democratic participation, they are less likely to accept the premise that legitimacy requires legally compelled turnout, preferring voluntary civic engagement.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Conservative Party generally emphasizes individual liberty and limited government; compulsory voting is typically viewed as state coercion rather than a conservative democratic reform.
